Just seen this on ABC news (not good with breakfast).
www.abc.net.au/news/2009-04-17/weight-shame-a-pain-on-planes/1655644

And to think most of us active types have to disguise our excess baggage so we don't get charged and now we as a society are wronging fatties who want to fly!!

quote

"One frequent flier suggests the aviation industry, especially given its current downturn, should be doing more to accommodate obese fliers."


makes me want to stand out the front of the Cold Rock and ask each of the fatties why they think they need that ice cream !!!!

rant over go back to your coffee and watching the green arrows

The article says "There's a large minority of people who are overweight or obese."

What's a "large minority"?

So next time I travel I should get a fat suit like they use in the movies and shove my kites/harness/towels/wetty etc in there. Maybe even whack the bar n lines down my dacks as no-one will be likely to say anything.. as no-one wants to admit they looked there in the 1st place Dribble a bit of pie n sauce and curry all over my outfit and there you go - free baggage and no questions asked!

BTW - "I'll have the vegetarian meal you stoopid kn hosty!! Do i look like I eat meat?!? Now bring me a few extra deserts - and hurry!"

BTW - they should make kites/sails outta the material used in those trackies (or is that a tent?) surely that material has the largest load bearing capacity knonw to science?

pump it up
